Lesson Intermediate Stage 4: Mixing & Transitions November 2016

Contents of the video

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is entitled The Drop. What we're going to do here is we're taking one track, mistakes I've made, and imagine if we're going to play this track pretty much through its entirety. If I don't ruin one of the breaks of the track, what I've done, I've got another track already, a track entitled My Hands on the Other Side. I've got that set just after a break, at the beginning of a new phrase. So, we're playing this track now for the first time. We're going to play a little bit more of it. We're going to go back to that hot cue that I've set and then we're going to drop in My House. We're going to drop in My House just after this break here.

There. Alright, so let's say we're going through this track now. Set the cue point here. Bam. Straight back to where we were before. I've set the cue point. Ready.

So instead of the drop from this track, it's the drop from the other track. Making sure my levels are correct.

That's it. As simple as that. So we've gone straight from one track into another one, another track. Just make sure you're doing it right. Just make sure you're doing it right. Just make sure the tracks work well together. Similar sort of style, maybe similar sort of key as well. But mainly it's about timing. Making sure that the phrasing of the other track, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
